Higgs Alan

At Alan Higgs Architects, we are a full-service architectural practice with a passion for creating spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable. With over 220 completed commissions in Britain, Australia, and Europe, our team has extensive experience in designing a wide range of projects, from new houses to full-scale reconstructions of buildings, schools, arts and religious institutions, and commercial fit-outs.

Our expertise lies in our ability to ease new life into old buildings, having worked on over 30 listed buildings. We are committed to sustainable building and environment technologies, and we strive to capture as much natural light as possible in our designs. Our approach is characterized by a sense of order and calm, with finely composed relationships between spaces and between inside and out.

Our team, led by Alan Higgs, has a deep understanding of architectural and design history and theory, with specific interests in the English country house, European and American high modernism, and the Australian vernacular. This knowledge influences our design work, ensuring that our projects are unique, fresh, and creative.
